Who are you?

You thrive in a hands-on support role, taking pride in being the keystone of a successful founding partner’s personal and professional worlds. Highly intuitive, confident, and self-directed, you quickly learn the founder’s preferences, anticipate needs, take initiative, and work independently. You have a natural eye for detail and a proven track record of understanding and applying a founder's vision and visual identity to flawlessly curated experiences. Your experience supporting high-powered executives has honed your ability to strategically plan ahead, keep calm under pressure, and meet short deadlines. Through it all, your strong value for the people and relationships in your work and life shines through. 

 

The Role

As an Executive Personal Assistant, you’ll wear many hats and act as the smooth operator behind the scenes in a faster-than-fast environment. First and foremost, you’ll provide J/PR’s founding partner with logistical support while executing business needs and coordinating personal projects. This role requires experience managing complex calendars, travel arrangements (domestic and international), meeting logistics, expense reporting, and confidential correspondence, often shifting between personal and professional commitments.

You’ll work within the Operations team, supporting collaboration between the founder and all operations functions: finance, hiring, new business, and office management. There is an internal client focus and dedication to facilitating clear communication with the agency’s clients on behalf of the partner.

  • Handle partner's email management and correspondence
  • Support project tracking and partner-requested initiatives, attend meetings, take detailed notes, and follow up on action items
  • Coordinate domestic and international travel and accommodation arrangements via telephone and email, and prepare related agendas/itineraries
  • Act as liaison between partner, clients, and leadership, ensuring clear communication and timely follow-through
  • Manage monthly accounts receivable, including professional client communication, processing payments, and meticulously tracking partners' monthly expenses

  • Accommodate frequent last-minute travel (commercial), including flights, accommodations, transportation, and itineraries

  • Handle personal errands, returns, and wardrobe coordination
 

Requirements

  • 3+ years of Executive or Personal Assistant experience supporting C-Suite executives
  • Must have a flexible lifestyle: while this is a “9-5” in-office role, there is an on-call element that entails working outside standard business hours, over weekends, and across time zones as needed
  • Ability to work primarily in the San Diego office (Fridays remote), with occasional flexibility for remote work – must have a reliable car and valid driver’s license
  • Tech Savvy with Apple products, G-Suite, Microsoft Office, Zoom, and Microsoft Teams
  • Keen eye for design and detail, aligning events with the partner's coastal Hampton's aesthetic
  • Naturally proactive and intuitive: capable of anticipating needs, solving problems independently, and “just getting things done”
  • High level of integrity, maintain discretion and confidentiality while managing sensitive matters
  • Willing to travel occasionally, with opportunities to accompany the principal to major events and international destinations
  • Comfortable in both formal and casual settings — from high-profile events to informal at-home days

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
